Public Consultation on 10-year Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Literacy Strategy Closing 31 Dec
There's still time to make your submission to the public consultation process on a new 10-year Adult Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Literacy Strategy.
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris TD secured Government approval to task SOLAS, the Further Education and Training Authority, with the development of the strategy and report back within six months.
In the Programme for Government ‘Our Shared Future’, there is a commitment to develop a 10-year strategy for adult literacy, numeracy and digital skills.
The strategy will take a whole-of-Government approach and provide a framework to support individuals to improve their literacy, numeracy and digital skills.
The consultation began on 13 November and ends on 31 December. The consultation can be found here: https://www.solas.ie/alnd-strategy/
